Yea, if Thou wilt. Thou canst put up Thy sword; But what if Thou shouldst sheathe it to the hilt Within the heart that sues to Thee, O Lord? Yea, if Thou wilt. For if Thou wilt Thou canst purge Of all, of any, even the most abhorred: Thou canst pluck down, rebuild, build up the unbuilt. Who wanders canst Thou gather by love's cord? Who sinks, uplift from the under-sucking silt To set him on Thy rock within Thy ward? Yea, if Thou wilt. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ARMAGEDDON by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON HIS MOTHER'S SERVICE TO OUR LADY by FRANCOIS VILLON WINTER NIGHT by CH'IEN WEN OF LIANG MACFLECKNOE; OR, A SATIRE UPON THE TRUE-BLUE-PROTESTANT POET by JOHN DRYDEN CHURCH MONUMENTS by GEORGE HERBERT TRUST IN GOD by NORMAN MACLEOD (1812-1872) |
